- Rework the cpufreq governor interface to make it more straightforward
and modify the conservative governor to avoid using transition
notifications (Rafael Wysocki).
- Rework the handling of frequency tables by the cpufreq core to make
it more efficient (Viresh Kumar).
- Modify the schedutil governor to reduce the number of wakeups it
causes to occur in cases when the CPU frequency doesn't need to be
changed (Steve Muckle, Viresh Kumar).
- Fix some minor issues and clean up code in the cpufreq core and
governors (Rafael Wysocki, Viresh Kumar).
- Add Intel Broxton support to the intel_pstate driver (Srinivas
Pandruvada).
- Fix problems related to the config TDP feature and to the validity
of the MSR_HWP_INTERRUPT register in intel_pstate (Jan Kiszka,
Srinivas Pandruvada).
- Make intel_pstate update the cpu_frequency tracepoint even if
the frequency doesn't change to avoid confusing powertop (Rafael
Wysocki).
- Clean up the usage of __init/__initdata in intel_pstate, mark some
of its internal variables as __read_mostly and drop an unused
structure element from it (Jisheng Zhang, Carsten Emde).
- Clean up the usage of some duplicate MSR symbols in intel_pstate
and turbostat (Srinivas Pandruvada).
- Update/fix the powernv, s3c24xx and mvebu cpufreq drivers (Akshay
Adiga, Viresh Kumar, Ben Dooks).
- Fix a regression (introduced during the 4.5 cycle) in the
pcc-cpufreq driver by reverting the problematic commit (Andreas
Herrmann).
- Add support for Intel Denverton to intel_idle, clean up Broxton
support in it and make it explicitly non-modular (Jacob Pan,
Jan Beulich, Paul Gortmaker).
- Add support for Denverton and Ivy Bridge server to the Intel RAPL
power capping driver and make it more careful about the handing
of MSRs that may not be present (Jacob Pan, Xiaolong Wang).
- Fix resume from hibernation on x86-64 by making the CPU offline
during resume avoid using MONITOR/MWAIT in the "play dead" loop
which may lead to an inadvertent "revival" of a "dead" CPU and
a page fault leading to a kernel crash from it (Rafael Wysocki).
- Make memory management during resume from hibernation more
straightforward (Rafael Wysocki).
- Add debug features that should help to detect problems related
to hibernation and resume from it (Rafael Wysocki, Chen Yu).

during the cleanup phase if they have not been called during the
corresponding preparation phase which is possible if one of the
other notifiers returns an error at that time (Lianwei Wang).

clean up suspend-related console handling (Roger Lu, Borislav
Petkov).
- Update the AnalyzeSuspend script in the kernel sources to
version 4.2 (Todd Brandt).

and in the core, make some devfreq code explicitly non-modular and
change some of it into tristate (Bartlomiej Zolnierkiewicz,
Peter Chen, Paul Gortmaker).

Pull power management updates from Rafael Wysocki:
"Again, the majority of changes go into the cpufreq subsystem, but
there are no big features this time. The cpufreq changes that stand
out somewhat are the governor interface rework and improvements
related to the handling of frequency tables. Apart from those, there
are fixes and new device/CPU IDs in drivers, cleanups and an
improvement of the new schedutil governor.
Next, there are some changes in the hibernation core, including a fix
for a nasty problem related to the MONITOR/MWAIT usage by CPU offline
during resume from hibernation, a few core improvements related to
memory management during resume, a couple of additional debug features
and cleanups.
Finally, we have some fixes and cleanups in the devfreq subsystem,
generic power domains framework improvements related to system
suspend/resume, support for some new chips in intel_idle and in the
power capping RAPL driver, a new version of the AnalyzeSuspend utility
and some assorted fixes and cleanups.

Pull block driver updates from Jens Axboe:
"This branch also contains core changes. I've come to the conclusion
that from 4.9 and forward, I'll be doing just a single branch. We
often have dependencies between core and drivers, and it's hard to
always split them up appropriately without pulling core into drivers
when that happens.
That said, this contains:
- separate secure erase type for the core block layer, from
Christoph.
- set of discard fixes, from Christoph.
- bio shrinking fixes from Christoph, as a followup up to the
op/flags change in the core branch.
- map and append request fixes from Christoph.
- NVMeF (NVMe over Fabrics) code from Christoph. This is pretty
exciting!
- nvme-loop fixes from Arnd.
- removal of ->driverfs_dev from Dan, after providing a
device_add_disk() helper.
- bcache fixes from Bhaktipriya and Yijing.
- cdrom subchannel read fix from Vchannaiah.
- set of lightnvm updates from Wenwei, Matias, Johannes, and Javier.
- set of drbd updates and fixes from Fabian, Lars, and Philipp.
- mg_disk error path fix from Bart.
- user notification for failed device add for loop, from Minfei.
- NVMe in general:
+ NVMe delay quirk from Guilherme.
+ SR-IOV support and command retry limits from Keith.
+ fix for memory-less NUMA node from Masayoshi.
+ use UINT_MAX for discard sectors, from Minfei.

documentation mechanism based on the Sphinx system. The objectives here
are to make it easier to create better-integrated (and more attractive)
documents while (eventually) dumping our one-of-a-kind, cobbled-together
system for something that is widely used and maintained by others. There's
a fair amount of information what's being done, why, and how to use it in:
https://lwn.net/Articles/692704/
https://lwn.net/Articles/692705/
Closer to home, Documentation/kernel-documentation.rst describes how it
works.
For now, the new system exists alongside the old one; you should soon see
the GPU documentation converted over in the DRM pull and some significant
media conversion work as well. Once all the docs have been moved over and
we're convinced that the rough edges (of which are are a few) have been
smoothed over, the DocBook-based stuff should go away.
Primary credit is to Jani Nikula for doing the heavy lifting to make this
stuff actually work; there has also been notable effort from Markus Heiser,
Daniel Vetter, and Mauro Carvalho Chehab.
Expect a couple of conflicts on the new index.rst file over the course of
the merge window; they are trivially resolvable. That file may be a bit of
a conflict magnet in the short term, but I don't expect that situation to
last for any real length of time.
Beyond that, of course, we have the usual collection of tweaks, updates,
and typo fixes.

this stuff actually work; there has also been notable effort from
Markus Heiser, Daniel Vetter, and Mauro Carvalho Chehab.
Expect a couple of conflicts on the new index.rst file over the course
of the merge window; they are trivially resolvable. That file may be
a bit of a conflict magnet in the short term, but I don't expect that
situation to last for any real length of time.
Beyond that, of course, we have the usual collection of tweaks,
updates, and typo fixes"

Pull s390 updates from Martin Schwidefsky:
"There are a couple of new things for s390 with this merge request:
- a new scheduling domain "drawer" is added to reflect the unusual
topology found on z13 machines. Performance tests showed up to 8
percent gain with the additional domain.
- the new crc-32 checksum crypto module uses the vector-galois-field
multiply and sum SIMD instruction to speed up crc-32 and crc-32c.
- proper __ro_after_init support, this requires RO_AFTER_INIT_DATA in
the generic vmlinux.lds linker script definitions.
- kcov instrumentation support. A prerequisite for that is the
inline assembly basic block cleanup, which is the reason for the
net/iucv/iucv.c change.
- support for 2GB pages is added to the hugetlbfs backend.
Then there are two removals:
- the oprofile hardware sampling support is dead code and is removed.
The oprofile user space uses the perf interface nowadays.
- the ETR clock synchronization is removed, this has been superseeded
be the STP clock synchronization. And it always has been
"interesting" code..
And the usual bug fixes and cleanups"

This reverts commit 790d849bf811a8ab5d4cd2cce0f6fda92f6aebf2.
Using a v4.7-rc7 kernel on a HP ProLiant triggered following messages
pcc-cpufreq: (v1.10.00) driver loaded with frequency limits: 1200 MHz, 2800 MHz
cpufreq: ondemand governor failed, too long transition latency of HW, fallback to performance governor
The last line was shown for each CPU in the system.
Testing v4.5 (where commit 790d849b was integrated) triggered
similar messages. Same behaviour on a 2nd HP Proliant system.
So commit 790d849bf (cpufreq: pcc-cpufreq: update default value of
cpuinfo_transition_latency) causes the system to use performance
governor which, I guess, was not the intention of the patch.
Enabling debug output in pcc-cpufreq provides following verbose output:
pcc-cpufreq: (v1.10.00) driver loaded with frequency limits: 1200 MHz, 2800 MHz
pcc_get_offset: for CPU 0: pcc_cpu_data input_offset: 0x44, pcc_cpu_data output_offset: 0x48
init: policy->max is 2800000, policy->min is 1200000
get: get_freq for CPU 0
get: SUCCESS: (virtual) output_offset for cpu 0 is 0xffffc9000d7c0048, contains a value of: 0xff06. Speed is: 168000 MHz
cpufreq: ondemand governor failed, too long transition latency of HW, fallback to performance governor
target: CPU 0 should go to target freq: 2800000 (virtual) input_offset is 0xffffc9000d7c0044
target: was SUCCESSFUL for cpu 0
I am asking to revert 790d849bf to re-enable usage of ondemand
governor with pcc-cpufreq.
Fixes: 790d849bf (cpufreq: pcc-cpufreq: update default value of cpuinfo_transition_latency)

Commit f42ddca7bebc (doc-rst: kernel-doc directive, fix state machine

Add a reporter replacement that assigns the correct source name and line

Unfortunately warnings generated after parsing in sphinx can end up
with entirely bogus files and line numbers as sources. Strangely for
outright errors this is not a problem. Trying to convert warnings to
errors also doesn't fix it.
The only way to get useful output out of sphinx to be able to root
cause the error seems to be enabling keep_warnings, which inserts
a System Message into the actual output. Not pretty at all, but I
don't really want to fix up core rst/sphinx code, and this gets the job
done meanwhile.

New core features
- Selection of the clock source for IIO timestamps. This is done per device
as it makes little sense to have events in one timebase and data timestamped
on another. Biggest reason for this is that we currently use a clock
source which is non monotonic which can result in 'interesting' data sets.
(Includes export for get_monotonic_corse64 which Thomas Gleixner didn't mind
in an earlier version.)

is needed in which we first allow for the easy option (level triggered) and
secondly check the status registers before reenabling edge interrupts and
fall back to a tight loop in the thread until we successfully clear the

patch that has been through a lot of revisions to reach a consensus on how
to handle what is basically broken hardware (which the previous defaults
allowed to kind of work).

Make it possible to protect all pages holding image data during

catch attempts to write to those pages after image data have been
stored in them).
This adds overhead to image restoration code (it may cause large
page mappings to be split as a result of page flags changes) and
the errors it protects against should never happen in theory, so
the feature is only active after passing hibernate=protect_image
to the command line of the restore kernel.
Also it only is built if CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA is set.

MAINTAINERS: Update the Calgary IOMMU entry
Randomizes the virtual address space of kernel memory regions for
x86_64. This first patch adds the infrastructure and does not randomize
any region. The following patches will randomize the physical memory
mapping, vmalloc and vmemmap regions.
This security feature mitigates exploits relying on predictable kernel
addresses. These addresses can be used to disclose the kernel modules
base addresses or corrupt specific structures to elevate privileges
bypassing the current implementation of KASLR. This feature can be
enabled with the CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_MEMORY option.
The order of each memory region is not changed. The feature looks at the
available space for the regions based on different configuration options
and randomizes the base and space between each. The size of the physical
memory mapping is the available physical memory. No performance impact
was detected while testing the feature.
Entropy is generated using the KASLR early boot functions now shared in
the lib directory (originally written by Kees Cook). Randomization is
done on PGD & PUD page table levels to increase possible addresses. The
physical memory mapping code was adapted to support PUD level virtual
addresses. This implementation on the best configuration provides 30,000
possible virtual addresses in average for each memory region. An
additional low memory page is used to ensure each CPU can start with a
PGD aligned virtual address (for realmode).
x86/dump_pagetable was updated to correctly display each region.
Updated documentation on x86_64 memory layout accordingly.

Track generated header files which aren't already in genhdr-y, alongside
generic-y wrappers in the */include/generated/[uapi/]asm/ directories.
Currently only x86 generates extra headers in these directories, for the
purposes of enumerating system calls for different ABIs, and xen
hypercalls.
This will allow the asm-generic wrapper handling code to remove stale
wrappers when files are removed from generic-y, without also removing
these headers which are generated separately.
